CBS orders additional 7 episodes for “Supergirl”

While it might not be a typical exact full season pickup, CBS has announced that they have given an additional seven episodes to superhero drama Supergirl. The Melissa Benoist drama debuted to a 3.1 in the 18-49, but has fallen to a more modest 1.5-1.8 in the past few weeks.

The series, from Greg Berlanti Productions who also produces the CW series Arrow and The Flash, (as well as the upcoming Legends of Tomorrow) follows Kara Danvers, who has recently embraced her powers and become Supergirl.
